    We decided to take up the small group option (max. of 11) as it could offer a more intimate experience and it did not disappoint. Paul, our guide from Escape Discovery Adventures, was knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. Our family of 6, inclusive of 4 teens, enjoyed the entire journey and his company. The sight of the Twelve Apostles was truly captivating. Against the backdrop of excellent weather, we took many gorgeous photos which could be mistaken to be the work of professionals. It was a day well spent.

    Paul gave us the best experience of the Great Ocean Road, he was a very experienced tour guide, friendly, helpful and overall just a really pleasant person to be around. He was super knowledgeable about Victoria/Australia and had a clear passion for what he does. He was able to answer questions, share stories and educate the group on our surroundings. He was willing to take pictures for us and showed us the best places for food and coffee along the road. I’m so glad that we booked our trip with Paul. His vehicle was so spacious with good air conditioning, reclining seats and windows with a view for all. He made an all day trip fly by, with his quick wit and friendly personality. He was a joy to converse with, sharing plenty of stories along the way and entertaining us with fun facts and some embellished anecdotes that were very much enjoyed. 10/10 would recommend this tour for anyone, no big company will give you this kind of experience. Thanks so much Paul, you are very appreciated

    This is the ocean road trip to do. I booked it fairly last minute as I had been let down by another company. Paul was a superb driver and guide. A great mix of local knowledge and humour. I was on my own and he made our little group all feel so welcome. A superb day. You must go and enjoy.
